An Experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer on Your Side
I provide felony defense in state court for individuals who live near Greenville, in cities such as Snow Hill, Farmville, Ayden, Kinston and Williamston. I also provide defense for college students who attend schools such as East Carolina University and Pitt Community College.
I have been a criminal defense lawyer since 1987. I am also a board certified specialist in state criminal law through the North Carolina Board of Legal Specialization. I understand what is at stake, and when the charge involves a felony offense such as murder, rape, drug offenses or robbery, the stakes are high.
Consequences of a conviction can include loss of employment, a permanent criminal record, being prohibited from possessing firearms and loss of your voting rights. College students charged with drug offense may face additional consequence such as the loss of federal financial aid and expulsion from college. I can readily explore the options available to my clients and try to help minimize the consequences. For example, deferred prosecution or expungement of your criminal record may be options. I strive to limit the damage to you.
